Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy single loop sub-rectangular buckle, with pin now missing, dating to the 14th century AD (length: 18.1mm; width: 21.2mm; thickness: 3.1mm; weight: 3.13g). There are three transverse/ indented grooves on one side of the outer edge, the middle of which is where the pin would have originally rested as it is deeper than the other two. The frame also has a narrowed and offset strap bar. The buckle frame is slightly worn and in a fair condition, although it is difficult to identify the possible patina of the artefact as it appears to have been coated in a substance, making the colour nearly black. An identical example is illustrated in Ross Whitehead?s ?Buckles: 1250-1800?, page 27, ref no 136, as well as other similar examples in Egan & Pritchard?s ?Dress Accessories 1150-1450: Medieval Finds from Excavations in London: 3?, 2002 edition, page 96. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1300
